Notes from the Resistance
James Talarico: ‘Common Sense’ to Lock Up Guns in the Home, Criminalize Private Sales… Talarico said, “I am a believer in the Second Amendment. I don’t pick and choose between the Bill of Rights, I believe in the Second Amendment just as much as I believe in the first.” [More]
Anybody smell gas…?

Teachers have been known to report students over perceived off-campus gun concerns before, even when no cause for them existed. [More]
Submitting a historically accurate entry could run afoul of “zero tolerance” intolerance.
[The] DC Court of Appeals in a 2 to1 decision said, indeed, that … President Trump’s policies of excluding transgenders from the military and not allowing them to serve, that this was unconstitutional and illegal. [Watch]
I’m wondering how soon someone’s gonna file a complaint about how getting rid of “non-binary” on the 4473 is an unconstitutional attack on freedom of expression requiring prospective buyers to choose between rights…
Hey, any chair in a bar fight…

How far is it to the nearest free state?
ICE Hater Arrested for Death Threats Is Also Convicted Murderer [More]
So… who decided he could be trusted without a custodian?
That said, is what he wrote an actionable “I am going to” death threat or just a death wish? Asking for a friend…

Why should people who get away with eviscerating the Second Amendment be afraid to trash the First?

REMOVED AGAIN: Our Executive Director @iancesca1776 was informed he needed to leave the committee room because his firearm pin made others feel unsafe. [More]
Those in power can use that excuse to trample a lot of rights– like you see being done here.
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, they ought to be made to feel unsafe, and often, and by someone who knows how.
New York has agreed to drop a requirement that applicants for concealed carry gun permits list their former and current social media accounts so officials can confirm their “character.” [More]
For now.
Let communist Democrats keep gaining power there, and “gun permits” and “social media” won’t even be permitted memories, let alone issues for proletariat consensus.
Michigan Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard … arrested a man who posted a meme about him and the sheriff said the man was “trying to threaten and intimidate” with the meme. He then stated the 1st Amendment makes people “feel empowered, emboldened, and safe,” so he had to teach the public a lesson. [Watch]
Streisand Effect, anyone…?
LaLaLa…He can’t HEAR you…

That’s gotta be a First Amendment “right to petition” violation. Not that their minds aren’t already made up and the hearings aren’t anything but theatrics to make it look like they’re responsibly deliberating.
I wonder if Harmeet would agree…

California Bill Would Force 3D Printers to Block Gun Files With State-Approved Detection Technology [More]
And I can see the bastards pulling a DeStefano on an out-of-state supplier who won’t comply. (Looks like they gave up on trying to raise funds because no one wanted to help plant the seed, water the crop, harvest the grain, mill the flour, and bake the bread.)
I’m wondering if the “unfunded mandate” used in Printz to invalidate Brady Law requirements might be applicable in fighting this, or is that just an escape clause for public entities against the feds?
Colorado Bill Criminalizing Computer Code Sparks Constitutional Battle Over Gun Rights and Free Speech [More]
Well, they are Democrats...

Yes, I know she had another account tied in with her office, but as the linked article notes:
The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that public officials who post about topics relating to their work on their personal social media accounts are acting on behalf of the government, and therefore can be held liable for violating the First Amendment when they block their critics, only when they have the power to speak on behalf of the state and are actually exercising that power.
She always was good at “allegedly” gaming the system. Why that can’t be nailed down by a seemingly omnipotent fedgov is a mystery to me.
Might be worth some pushback…

I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen legislation that abrogates so many of the amendments in the Bill of Rights in one edict.
But…but…but it’s for the greater good…

Maybe it’s time to stop dousing the fire in gun owner bellies, especially with top administration officials making inane comments that spit in the faces of Second Amendment activists — the very people Republicans need to win. [More]
In what reality is making core constituents feel like they’re being used smart politics?
